Obsidian Entertainment's highly anticipated role-playing game, Avowed, is set to deliver a smooth gaming experience on the Xbox Series X, with the capability to reach up to 60 frames per second (fps). Game director Carrie Patel shared with MinnMax that players can expect this performance on Microsoft's more powerful console. However, the Xbox Series S version will be capped at 30fps, as previously announced.
While it remains uncertain whether Avowed will feature the now-standard performance and graphics modes—typically offering a choice between 60fps with reduced visuals or 30fps with enhanced graphics—it's possible that the Xbox Series X version might naturally achieve 60fps without the need for a specific performance setting.
Avowed is slated for release on February 13 for those willing to invest at least $89.99. However, fans looking to purchase at the standard price of $69.99 will have to wait until February 18, reflecting a pricing strategy recently adopted by some publishers but already abandoned by others, such as Ubisoft.
Set in the rich universe of Pillars of Eternity, Avowed offers a first-person fantasy RPG experience with a strong focus on player choice. The narrative delves into themes of war, mystery, and intrigue, allowing players to navigate the expansive world and cultivate relationships that shape their journey.
In IGN's Final Preview, Avowed received accolades for its engaging dialogue, player freedom, and overall enjoyment, with the review stating, "Avowed is just a lot of fun."
